The club were in talks with French side Strasbourg on deadline day for a late move, and agreed a fee on Friday afternoon.

Wolves then flew officials out to France to meet Bellegarde and complete the deal in time before the 11pm deadline, as he signed a five-year contract.

The midfielder completed a medical and signed his contract, as Wolves wrapped up the transfer as a direct replacement for Matheus Nunes, who left for Manchester City in a £53million deal.
